"A trans woman who used to work for Facebook has been banned from the site for violating their real names policy." "Medium.com, the woman said: "Facebook decided my name was not real enough and summarily cut me off from my friends, family and peers and left me with the stark choice between using my legal name or using a name people would know me by.""

A surprise to me. On Oct. 1, 2014, Facebook announced that they would no longer require transgender people to use their pre-transition names. I would like to hear Facebook's version on why this is still happening before I pass judgment. This article does not mention any attempt to reach Facebook for comment.
